Marathon

Nope, this is not a column on running. It’s about this great old building we visited this weekend. One of Chris’s friends was part of a one-night art exhibit. Most of the art was very intersting—some of it beautiful and some of it really fun and whimsical. But I was just as amazed by the building it was held in. It's part of a group of buildings called Marathon Village, which was originally an automobile manufacturing plant. The building has a lot of the original woodworking (beautiful), and you could see parts of the old freight elevators that were used. The current owner is apparently an artist as well, and he’s put together great old photos of the cars built there and sculpture pieces made from machinery parts he found in the building. It was all a very cool experience, and a really beautiful restoration job in the interior of the building.

Sometimes I’m so pleasantly surprised by the little things in Nashville that I just didn’t know existed.
